Join us for an engaging webinar on fungal infections!

Fungal infections are a common yet often mismanaged foot condition in clinical practice. Are you equipped in your pharmacies or clinics to tackle them effectively?

Join Professor Ivan Bristow and Professor Rod Tucker on an enlightening journey through the fungal jungle! Ivan will share his expert roadmap, covering:

• Recognising fungal infections in the skin and the nails; simple diagnostic tools
• Effective treatment with over-the-counter products
• When to refer for further investigations: the partnership between pharmacist and other HCPs

The webinar will be facilitated by Dr Jo McCardle, Scholl’s global clinical expert.

Educational outcomes:

• Attendees will gain knowledge on how to recommend and use over-the-counter products for the treatment of fungal infections, optimising patient care
• Participants will understand the appropriate circumstances for referring patients for further investigations

Attendees will also receive an educational brochure highlighting various foot skin conditions, written by key opinion leaders, and a selection of Scholl product samples.
